Schefflera Arb.Compacta Twisted

Plant Care

• Light: Bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light but thrives with more light, which helps maintain its compact growth and vibrant leaves.
• Water: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Ensure the soil is well-draining to avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
• Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
• Humidity: Tolerates average indoor humidity but benefits from occasional misting or a humidity tray in dry conditions.
• Soil: Well-draining, all-purpose potting mix. A general houseplant mix with added perlite works well.
• Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring to summer).
• Pruning: Trim any leggy or damaged growth to maintain the plant’s shape. Pruning can also encourage fuller growth.
• Pests: Can attract spider mites or scale. Treat with insecticidal soap if needed.
• Toxicity: Toxic to pets if ingested, so keep out of reach of animals.
